Light travels as transverse waves and can go through the vacuum of space, while sound has longitude waves and needs to travel through something solid. It can’t travel through a vacuum of space like light.

A 1,600 kg train car rolling freely on level track at 16 m/s bumps into a 1.0 × 103 kg train car moving at 10.0 m/s in the same
emmainna [20.7K]
This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

A Smart Car, which has a mass of 1000 kg, is going 20 m/s. When it hits the barrier, it stops with a time of 0.5 seconds. What i
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Explanation:

Mass m = 1000 kg

speed v₁ = 20 m/s

speed v₂ = 0 m/s

We know that,

The change in momentum

ΔP = m (Δv)

ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)

     = 1000 (0 - 20)

     = 1000 (-20)

     = -20000 kg m/s

Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.

Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.

Answer:

After a male ejaculates, many sperms move to the upper vagina (via contractions from the vagina) through the cervix and across the length of the uterus, reaching the fallopian tubes. Here they will meet the egg cell ready to be fertilized

What is the velocity of an object that has been in free fall for 1.5s?
Crank

Answer:

D. 15 m/s downward

Explanation:

v = at + v₀

v = (-9.8 m/s²) (1.5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = -14.7 m/s

Rounded to two significant figures, the answer is D, 15 m/s downward.
